Someone else for a day

If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why?

Daily Prompt

I would like to be a person who wouldn’t have many hangups. Someone different from me. Right now, I need an exoskeleton (now, Sunset) to make me move forward in life. I would be someone who is confident about their skills. People with their own businesses seem confident in what they do. Being in their shoes for at least one day would be nice. They have problems too, but at least they are not forced to apply for jobs.

I have a hard time making decisions. I wish I could make one and stick to it. But there is always something in the way, so I don’t get things done. I want to be that person who isn’t uncertain and is not worried about taking risks. The sunset hasn’t set yet. I can still be the person I wish to be for a day. It only takes longer for me to do it.

Between optimist and pessimist

After a month, I’m back doing the Rag Tag Daily Prompt. I did Bloganuary, so I concentrated on those subjects. I’m an optimist that you have read this blog during that time. If you found this blog through Bloganuary, then welcome.

If someone asked what I am the most, an optimist or a pessimist. I would answer it depends on the day and what it’s about. I don’t know if there is a word describing how I think about things. I make decisions through my feelings, and if it doesn’t feel right, I don’t do it. I probably think with my gut and my head, but also what I feel in my heart. I’m a dreamer but also realistic. Some days I feel optimistic, but then there are days I feel hopeless. I try to think positively, but then negative thoughts enter my mind. I have never wanted to be like everyone else. I believe in myself. My mother said I can do anything I put my mind to. I was lucky when it came to my parents. They let me make my own decisions. They didn’t expect me to get A’s in school exams. I did my best; if I failed, it wasn’t the end of the world. In the end, grades don’t get you a job. No one will remember how much you got on that final exam or any other test.

What I’m not very optimistic about is getting a job. My mother was always worried I wouldn’t find any. She knew how it was to be unemployed, but I’m in a different situation than she was. I don’t have a family to support, for example. I also have other options if I don’t get any. I’m optimistic about finding something one day. I haven’t given up hope. Right now, I want to concentrate on my filmmaking studies. Maybe I will find something else to do besides that.
